ambassador susan rice says the same. yet senator john mccain remains suspicious. he released a statement. part of it says this. mccain says this latest episode is another reason why many of us are so frustrated with and suspicious of the actions of this administration when it comes to the benghazi attack. so, roland, is there more there there? >> senator john mccain for anything, he he wants to complain about everything and anything. he has been attacking ambassador rice. it has been shameful. it has been ridiculous. but it's amazing how he never wanted tocy a word about general petraeus when he was running the cia and his involvement with it. it's ridiculous. ambassador rice made it clear in terms of where she got the talking points from. the republicans in the senate want to attack the white house, want to attack rice. they don't want her to be secretary of state. they don't want to say a word about the intelligence community. i say rice was right to fire back. they should push back. it should be just as aggressive in terms of laying out this is where we got the

my question -- the bigger question is if susan rice is nominated to take hillary clinton's place, are you going to fight that? >> well, i'm a member of the house, not a member of the senate, so it is up to the senate to hold confirmation hearings on cabinet level -- i leave that to the senate to determine whether or not she's qualified to hold the position of secretary of state. >> congressman joe heck, thank you for your time. >>> dana bash now, she staked out both hearings this morning. dana, i saw you raeporting this morning, we did not get pictures of him, but got the motorcade, and lots going on the hill this morning. what are democrats telling you about petraeus' testimony? >> reporter: very interesting. many came out to try to give an explanation for why there is a difference or a discrepancy as congressman heck just said what general petraeus said on september 14th, discrepancy between that and what susan rice said publicly two days later. the answer that several are giving us is because she was talking from unclassified talking points. and what they learned behind closed door
